Inside the App

Every screen, purpose-built.

CueConductor performance view showing bar counter, time signature, and visual streamers
01  /  Performance view

The whole picture, at a glance

Bar and beat counter, cue name, time signature, and visual streamers fill the screen. Everything a conductor needs — nothing that competes for attention during a live performance or tracking session.

CueConductor stem mixer with individual faders, solo, and mute buttons
02  /  Stem mixer

Full mix control in your hand

Individual faders, solo, and mute controls for every stem in the package — FOH, rehearsal orchestra, click, and all pre-produced layers. Adjust levels mid-session without bothering the control room.

CueConductor jump to rehearsal marker — letters B through E with measure numbers
03  /  Jump to marker

Rehearsal letters, instantly

Every rehearsal marker in the score appears in the list. Search by name, tap to jump. Choose Jump & Pause to cue up a section, or Jump & Play to roll immediately — the way a real rehearsal actually works.

04  /  Jump to measure

Type a number, go there

When the director calls a specific bar, type it on the numpad and jump directly — with or without playback. No scrubbing, no hunting through a waveform.

Your library, always current

Browse available performance packages by series and title. New packages appear automatically as they're added to your catalog. Download directly to the device, organize in shows, and even build your own packages.

CueBuilder — in-app package builder with MIDI, scoring video, and audio stem slots, timecodes, and parameters

Your session becomes a package

Drop in your MIDI, stems, and scoring video — CueBuilder™ turns them into a performance-ready .conductpkg. Save works-in-progress as projects, compile when it's ready, and share the package with every stand that needs it.

Capabilities

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

01

Unified transport

Audio stems, click track, MIDI cue maps, and video all lock to a single playback engine. Play, stop, rewind, and step-forward from the conductor's podium.

02

Visual streamers & punches

MIDI marker naming conventions drive real-time streamer, punch, and flutter events — exactly as in a professional scoring stage environment.

03

Instant jump navigation

Jump to any named rehearsal marker or specific measure number in one tap. Jump & Pause or Jump & Play — your choice, every time.

04

Full stem mixer

Individual faders, solo, and mute controls for every stem in the package. Click track and FOH master on dedicated controls. Restore Defaults in one tap.

05

CueBuilder™ package builder

Build and import your own .conductpkg files directly in the app from your own MIDI, audio, and video assets — with savable work-in-progress projects.

06

iPad, iPhone & macOS

Full feature parity on Apple devices. Use an iPad on the conductor's stand or an iPhone for a studio tracking session or practice studio setup. Run it on macOS with the DAW machine.

How It Works

From download to downbeat.

01

Download the app

CueConductor is free on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and macOS. No account required.

02

Browse the catalog

Open the in-app catalog to browse available performance packages — organized by series and title, with direct download to your device.

03

Or build your own with CueBuilder™

Use CueBuilder™, the in-app package builder, to create a .conductpkg from your own MIDI, stems, and scoring video — or tap the tempo map first in TempoMapper™ and hand it straight across. Commission support is also available.

04

Load and perform

Select any title from your cues list. Stems, click, MIDI map, and video load instantly — ready for the podium, the recording studio, or the practice studio.

The Suite Grows

Meet TempoMapper™

Some music was never played to a click. TempoMapper builds a beat grid against real audio — a live take, a rubato performance, a cue composed wild. Record or import, tap the tempo, and hand a finished cue straight to CueBuilder™ — or bounce a tempo-perfect MIDI map, click, and stems to your DAW.

TempoMapper™ maps it  →  CueBuilder™ builds it  →  CueConductor conducts it

Included in CueConductor with Pro  ·  also available as a standalone app.

Additional Support

Your repertoire. Your performance. Your session.
